To reiterate, I would partly or fully nationalize the food, textile and housing industries, all essential industries (furniture, appliances…), then I’d hire every able bodied unemployed person to work in them, part-full time (15-30 hours a week) for high wages (30-45 dollars an hour), producing cheap (more than halve food, clothing and housing prices), quality (whole foods, cotton/wool clothes) products.
I’d do all this not by taxing the rich, but by government printing its own debt free money, circumventing the central banks.
I think it’s stupid education and healthcare have been nationalized, but food, clothing and housing haven’t, when the latter are just as, if not more essential.
As for seniors and the disabled, of course they’d be taken care of, better than they are today.
Right, shouldn’t be any homeless, every person who can’t work should have a decent home and food to eat, and every person who can should have a decent job, no exceptions.
I don’t have a problem with drug addicts, so long as their addictions aren’t keeping them from working.
If they want help from the government, they’ll have to get off the drugs, at least enough so they can work, otherwise, forget it, they can remain homeless.
“Russians used social media and other public platforms to sew discord or sway public opinions influencing Americans in the 2016 elections.”
Sorry, I call bullshit on all of this Russia hysteria nonsense. What all of this amounts to is the United States doubling down on this Russia hysteria because it doesn’t want to admit publicly that our country is a failed state where so called democracy or government in this nation is essentially broken. We live under an extremely maddening broken social political system. Russians didn’t introduce discord in our nation as social discord has existed for a very long time in this country without the assistance of Russia or Russians.
It’s embarrassing that we would rather scapegoat an entire nation instead of taking responsibilities for our own domestic shortcomings. This is the absolute current state of the United States right now, fucking hilarious.
They’re not saying that they’re the cause of discord in American society. They’re saying that they spent a shit load of money buying ads to influence the election.
